Ahoy mateys! Set your anchor and come aboard! The S.S. WAG is trimmed and ready to take on passengers.

The WAG is overboard for Manitoba’s Homecoming with costumes, live music, DJ’s, dancing, art viewing, art creating, and so much more! Invite your mateys from abroad to join us for Manitoba’s most creative Homecoming event.
